Viruses serve as good model for evolutionary studies, owing to their short generation times and small genomes. Banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) is a significant subject being multicomponent circular single stranded DNA virus. BBTV belongs to family Nanoviridae and contains DNA-R, -U3, -S, -M, -C, and -N as integral genomic components. Evolutionary studies have shown genetic re-assortment of components among its isolates and revealed a concerted type evolution in non-coding regions of its genome. The DNA U3 having been shown as the most diverse component in our previous studies, was subjected to sequencing from some Pakistani isolates for the first time. Sequence analysis revealed intergenomic recombination in DNA-U3 among the isolates of two sub-groups and a very rare intragenomic recombination in Pakistani BBTV population. This indicates that like other evolutionary processes including intergenomic recombination, intragenomic recombination among the genomic components of the same isolate may also have a significant contribution in the evolution of BBTV genome. Intragenomic recombination therefore appears to be a unique way to generate genetic diversity in the multicomponent ssDNA viruses.

D010944 Plants Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE. Plant

D055029 Inverted Repeat Sequences Copies of nucleic acid sequence that are arranged in opposing orientation. They may lie adjacent to each other (tandem) or be separated by some sequence that is not part of the repeat (hyphenated). They may be true palindromic repeats, i.e. read the same backwards as forward, or complementary which reads as the base complement in the opposite orientation. Complementary inverted repeats have the potential to form hairpin loop or stem-loop structures which results in cruciform structures (such as CRUCIFORM DNA) when the complementary inverted repeats occur in double stranded regions.
